The
School Curriculum

In order
to achieve our aims, we have a curriculum which we keep under
continuous review to ensure that it satisfies the legal
requirements laid out in the Education Reform Act. Our curriculum
has to be balanced, broadly based and:

b)
Prepare the pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and
experiences of adult life.

We are
committed to enabling our pupils to be the ‘best that they can be’
and prepare them to make a positive contribution to their
communities. To this end we utilise ‘Enterprise Education’ as a
vehicle for learning and for developing enterprising skills and
attitudes. This is a creative approach to engaging children in
planning and carrying out projects, some of which raise money,
utilising skills such as problem solving, communication, team work
and negotiating whilst promoting attitudes such as resilience,
persistence and attention to detail. We have achieved accreditation
for both Healthy Schools and ‘Activemark’ as well as for Excellence
in Enterprise Education.

Our
curriculum includes all of the material described in the national
curriculum subjects: mathematics, English, science, information
technology, Religious Education, geography, history, music, art,
design and technology, physical education and PHSCE (personal,
social, citizenship and health education). In the Early Years there
is a specialist curriculum.

We are
committed to the inclusion of all children and have policies and
practice which ensures equality of access for all regardless of
gender, race, or disability.

Through
our accessibility plan we are committed to:

Increase
the extent to which pupils with disabilities can participate in the
school’s curriculum

Improve
the physical environment of the school to increase the extent to
which pupils with disabilities can take advantage of school
education and associated services provided or offered by the
school
